Q

Superior and middle nasal conchae

A

scroll-shaped projections lateral to the nasal septum. The conchae greatly increase the vascular and mucous membrane surface area in the nasal cavity, which warms and moistens (humidifies) inhaled air before it passes into the lungs. The conchae also cause inhaled air to swirl; as a result, many inhaled particles become trapped in the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Increase surface area for smell.

A

The neck is a constricted portion of a rib just lateral to the head. A knoblike structure on the posterior surface, where the neck joins the body, is called a tubercle

A

A short distance beyond the tubercle, an abrupt change in the curvature of the shaft occurs.

98
Q

99
Q

Herniated disc or slipped disc

A

If the anterior and posterior ligaments of the discs become injured or weakened, the pressure developed in the nucleus pulposus may be great enough to rupture the surrounding fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus). If this occurs, the nucleus pulposus may herniate (protrude) posteriorly or into one of the adjacent vertebral bodies

100
Q

Abnormal curves of the vertebral column

A

Various conditions may exaggerate the normal curves of the vertebral column, or the column may acquire a lateral bend,

101
Q

A

congenital defect of the vertebral column in which laminae of L5 and/or S1 fail to develop normally and unite at the midline.
